Technical criteria, Cement content, PavementAbstract
In sites with lack of aggregates and with soils that do not meet the technical criteria, or for building with soil a resistant layer, soil stabilization techniques can be applied. Among the materials employed in this type of process, cement is the most used since it provides greater technical and economic feasibility. This work will discuss the technical criteria to be applied and analysed to determine the optimum cement content to be incorporated into the soil for use of the mixture as pavement layer material. The criteria currently used are based only on values obtained from tests of compressive strength and durability by wetting and drying, which are not sufficient to analyse the behaviour of the stabilized material under the effect of local weathering.
